Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral microbiota is proved to be the first microbial strategic pass for the gastrointestinal tract. It is important for the maintenance of both oral and systematic health. The imbalance or instability of oral microbiota, including the overabundance of certain bacteria, viruses, or fungi, results in the development of dental infectious diseases. Increasing the understanding of the functions and mechanisms of oral microbiota is the essential way to develop new targets, therapeutic strategies, and control concepts for dental infections, even some systematic diseases. In this Special Issue, we will decipher the deep relationship and mechanisms between oral microbiota and dental or systematic diseases and construct novel control and regulation strategies for oral microbiota, including antibiotics, antimicrobial chemical molecules, antimicrobial biomaterials, biomacromolecules, probiotics, therapeutic technologies, etc., to combat oral microbiota-related dental or systematic diseases. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide the clinical relevance of new targets and therapeutic strategies based on oral microbiota for dental and systematic diseases.
